Highly recommend this hotel. We had a lovely 4 day stay.
Pros:

Fantastic location right outside St Peter’s Basilica. Hotel is gorgeous. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean and the bed super comfy. Breakfast was very good too with a wide variety of choices.

Cons:

We paid for a superior room and we thought it was a tad small. Overall though the hotel is beautiful and I would definitely book it again.

Ottima posizione e struttura con personale molto disponibile. Consigliato!
Pros:

Posizione ottima a pochissimi metri da San Pietro e Borgo San Pio. In pochi minuti si arriva tranquillamente a Piazza Navona. Albergo ricavato all'interno del palazzo. Personale gentilissimo e camere pulite.

Cons:

Anche se presente la doccetta la mancanza del bidet si nota. per il resto nulla da segnalere

Tranquil but in the heart of the Vatican area
Pros:

The location was a stones throw to St Peter's Square.

Cons:

The property is historically an old building, therefore the modernisation to accommodation comes with some sacrifices but nothing that was not satisfied in all that they offered.
